Thanks! I've been using the -F{} do-something-tofile "{}" approach which is also handy for times in which the input is one pram among others. -0 is much faster.
replyEdit: Looks like when doing file-by-file -F{} is still needed:
# find tmp -type f | xargs -0 ls
ls: cannot access 'tmp/b file.md'$'\n''tmp/a file.md'$'\n''tmp/c file.md'$'\n': No such file or directoryfind -print0 will print the files with null bytes as separators
replyxargs -0 will use a null byte as separator for each argument
printf 'a\0b\0c\0' | xargs -tI{} echo “file -> {}"
You have to do `find ... -print0` so find also uses \0 as the separator.
